Here is how I use PS (not eps) directly in LaTeX.  The first arg to
difig specifies the figure size.

\usepackage[dvips]{graphics}

\newcommand{\dofig}[2]
{\center{\scalebox{#1}{\includegraphics*{#2}}}} 

\begin{figure}[t]
  \dofig{0.5}{somefile.ps}
  \caption{\footnotesize Insert your figure caption here}  
  \label{fig:figref}
\end{figure}

Agreed.
